Well, that was more of a rhetorical question. This new European narrative is buzzing and I get it. But I think that any move forward should involve everyone who wants to co-create new rules and then play by them. Replacing America first with Europe first is just dumb.
Greetings from a European living in Japan

- Comment on When will we have reached enough productivity? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I guess I was thinking about this as “If we were to set a productivity goal for humanity, where would that be?” It’s a bit tiring in everyday life (in my line of work but I guess everywhere?) that you can always produce more of everything and there is no point where your todo list is just empty for a while. If it is, just add more items.
- Comment on When will we have reached enough productivity? 5 weeks ago:
Well, I think in that scenario I thought about transportation as included in the 5min/week workload. Basically you click 3 buttons and everything goes wroom on its own from there.

I can only read half of that and it looks like a malware link to me.
But sorry, a nickname is written in Japanese script is not a reliable indicator on this platform. By that logic, I might also be Japanese 🍜

50-60 interviews, not interviewees. Might be group interviews (but still bullshit)
- Comment on Genius 1 month ago:
Yes, that is a debate. AFAIK (from Japan), the vending machine providers give home owners a monthly rent for putting the machine on their property, but the home owners pay for the electricity costs. There was an article 1-2 years ago about how that model became basically a zero sum game for the home owners, because of rising electricity costs but I don’t remember the details
- Comment on Genius 1 month ago:
Agree with the ragebait, but (theoretically) they might interview more than one person at a time. He talks about 50-60 interviews a day, so with that seat layout, we have a max of 8*60=480 interviewees (assuming the interviewer is also sitting). That would be 240 drinks per day.
But it’s going to be quite busy. Let’s say he works 12 hours = 5 interviews/hour = 12 minutes per interview = 1.5 minutes per interviewee. That is not accounting for the time everyone needs to settle in and sit down/get up and out again; the time for him to casually get people to use their very limited time to buy a drink instead of being interviewed somehow (?) Also not accounting for the work involved in inviting and scheduling people, refilling the machine, costs of drinks, office space etc. And the soul draining work of funneling 480 people per day through a stupid fake interview, repeat the same thing every 12 minutes, just to get them to buy a drink instead of doing something useful.
What a nightmare. In this scenario, he is really the person to feel bad for. Imagine a life like that 😅
And apart from that: The more logical setup would be to turn off the air condition in the waiting area and put the vending machine there.

Backe (cheek) can be used both for the cheek in the face and the butt. But I guess you could say Arschbackpfeife? Arschbackpfeifengesicht? I’m not sure, need some inspiration from fellow Germans.
- Comment on Say thanks 4 months ago:
Pretty close, although Backpfeife has nothing to do with the back of your hand (five?), if that was your association. It also kind of fits, though. And what you associate with “shit” is German for “face” :D
Backpfeife would literally translate to “cheek whistle”, because that’s our favorite instrument to play when encountering a couch molester.

- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 5 months ago:
A two-party system is not necessarily worse than a multy-party system. They both have their flaws. Just as one example, party programs in multi-party systems such as in Germany are not worth the paper they are written on, because after the election the parties will go into negotiations and come up with an entirely different program. With two parties, at least you know what you vote for.
This is a great lecture on the topic with much more depth to it:
